About to witness some rookie on rookie violence in Portland.

The West is going to be ridiculously fun this post season.

Part of me thinks that OKC is easing off the gas the past few games with the Conference clearly in hand. I guess they should be motivated to clinch best record overall but doubt they want to show much to other Western playoff opponents.

They suck right now. And Jamal Murray might not be back at the start of the playoffs.

So the Wolves don't play, the two teams immediately above them in the standings lose, and they drop from the 6 seed to the 7 seed.
Yo Mama
Footballguy
It’s crazy. Right now, the 4-8 seeds in the West all have 32 losses (Denver 47 wins, everyone else 46) with only 3 or 4 games left. Time to start looking up all the tiebreakers.

Was quite impressive.Amen shut down Steph tonight (1-10, 3 points). Well done young man
Without Steph doing what he normally does, the Warriors are pedestrian

Guy is a beast on both ends. He'd be my vote for DPOY. He changes that team's defensive dynamic at every level on the court. You can literally put him on anyone 1-5 in most situations

The three headed defensive goat of Amen, Adams and Brooks is fun to watch.

Amen is definitely an elite defender, will be DPOY for multiple years. But, Steph gets zero whistle. Constantly being held, grabbed, hacked, fouled, etc. Yes, there are the uncalled moving screen violations by the Dubs too, but a player of Steph's magnitude deserves more calls. This isn't just an observation about last night's game, it's league-wide, career long.
Crazy how the 5th-8th spots are all tied.

Counterpoint - he has Draymond Green on his team.

Yeah, I would trade calling more fouls/techs on Day Day, if it meant Steph was getting more calls

Instead of looking at the crazy playoff standings and seedings, let’s look at the incredible tanking going on at the bottom of the standings. The bottom 8 teams are putting on a masterclass of futility. Here are their most recent records and how they look if you take out their wins against other bottom 8 teams.
Utah - 1-19, (0-19 excluding bottom 8 wins)
Was - 2-10, (1-10)
Cha - 5-20, (2-20)
NO - 5-14, (2-14)
Phi - 3-26, (2-26)
Bkn - 5-19, (3-19)
SA - 6-12, (3-12)
Tor - 9-8, (0-8) - their schedule down the stretch has been hilariously easy

I actually thought of an idea to help with tanking. Give additional ping pong balls for wins the last 20 games of the year. I didn't think it all the way out, so I am sure there are some kinks, but an additional ball for a win against a playoff team, two balls for a win against non playoffs team and scale it so it would make roughly the same difference that moving up a spot or two would make.

My anti-tanking idea is if a team doesn’t win at least 33% of their games, they get thrown in at the end of the lottery.
msudaisy26
Footballguy
I could go with that with a couple of tweaks. Have an season ending injury clause lower it to 30 percent which is 24.6 games and round it to 25.

Reading up to this point I was expecting something like "the lake of fire".
Sorry, guys, I'm not sure how I got here. Good talk.
Yo Mama

Lakers potentially looking to give up tomorrow’s game at OKC (basically everyone is listed as questionable) so they can have everyone active for Wednesdays game at Dallas.
Seems like a bit of a gamble to give up a game with only 4 left with how close the standings are, even if another win in OKC is a serious long shot.

I think the top 4 seeds in the East roll in the first round. Didn't matter if the Pistons were 5th or 8th.

Agreed but it might be interesting that the Bucks and Pistons play the final two games of the season against each other- April 11 in Detroit and 13th in Milwaukee. I wonder whether either team will care.

I think one year we did some form of NBA draft, I put polling for whatever matchups or rankings we were doing over there. Pretty sure that was the most activity that forum ever had.

"Why are all the basketball threads in the Free For All?"
"Because nobody goes to the Basketball Forum."

Calvin Booth fired too. This is nuts.

Yeah, I figured it was a power struggle between Booth and Malone, but I guess not.

Please address the Celtics coach properly . . . All-Time Winningest Head Coach in League History, Joe Mazzulla. He's at .740. Some guy named Phil Jackson is second at .704. I don't see the Celtics moving away from Mazzulla anytime soon as the math still works, but they likely will have to make several roster moves this offseason to get underneath the second apron. Then we'll see if Mazzulla ball is as effective.
